With Washington and Colorado, the home states of both Super Bowl teams, legalizing the sale of recreational marijuana, discussion about use of the drug among NFL players is at an all-time high.

Former Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears special teams player Brendon Ayanbadejo was a guest on a FOX Sports podcast with former NFL linebacker Scott Fujita, and admitted that teammates of his got high during the week leading up to the big game.

Ayanbadejo played in the 2006 Super Bowl for the Bears and the 2012 Super Bowl for the Ravens, but did not disclose which Super Bowl he witnessed it.

From the Baltimore Sun: I'm not going to say which Super Bowl it was but I just remember getting off the elevator one night — it was early on in the week, just to start the week off — and all of the sudden I just got hit over the head with fumes of marijuana on the entire floor of the hotel that the team was staying on," Ayanbadejo said. "I could just imagine there were a few young guys just toking it up in more than one room. I was like, 'Man this is the week of the Super Bowl and you're just going in?'

The former special teams ace has always been known for being outspoken when it comes to controversial topics, especially same-sex marriage, which he is a strong supporter of.

Ayanbadejo's admission is not a shocking one. After all, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said that he would be willing to consider allowing players to use marijuana for medicinal purposes.
